Hemp is a good alternative to concrete. In addition it is renewable and extracts Co2. Plus it makes other useful things like clothing. Unfortunately the cotton industry is preventing the world from growing it. It is those people that are preventing us from having buildings made from hemp today.
" There is no point in launching stuff into space unless you can power the stuff once it is in space."
Exactly. And now that we have the power supply we can launch stuff in space. That is why I always told NASA to build power supplies FIRST and rockets SECOND. But they never listened and that is why we are still stuck on this rock in a gravity well.
This shouldn't be a problem. They should just harden them more so they don't release the nuclear material. There is nothing wrong with nuclear reactors in SUVs.
I agree. It is better to work on the rocket and lander first and then worry about other things later. They should switch the engineers working on this to work on the rocket and lander instead.
There are lots of neighborhoods with nuclear power plants buried in them. It is much more efficient than just regular old power plants. There are multiple companies selling them.
We just weren't happy with our old power plant and wanted a change. The new nuclear power plant we have buried in our neighborhood will provide clean energy for the next 50 or so years.
Yes, plus we could fill the hull with asteroid dust mined from asteroids to help with radiation shielding. That, coupled with the dynamo, should be enough to keep the people safe.
Very true. The first homes in Mars will likely have to use 40" televisions instead of the 65" ones that are more commonly found on Earth homes. 10KW should be plenty for a Mars home as long as you don't take too many hot water baths. Of course, you could use the radiation to warm the water.
True. Only Americans use more than 75KWh a month. In Europe for example they cook on rocket stoves regularly. I've been trying to convince Americans to do the same, but they never listen.
Yeah. It is almost like there is Physics and stuff in the real world keeping us from doing things. I thought in 2018 we would have moved beyond Physical laws and things like that. They just hold us back. If you can dream it, you can do it!
It isn't just JavaScript experience. They have blogs that detail every step needed for interplanetary travel. Step #1: build space factories. Step #2: mine asteroids in factories, etc. NASA is just a bunch of bureaucrats though, so they will never get it together.
Yes. For instance my region just purchased a 100KW nuclear power plant recently. It was very affordable and we now get better electricity. Definitely better than putting solar in, and tons better from getting it from a regular old power plant!
True. You would only need like 3 of them to power a sedan. And maybe 10 to power a diesel truck. You can see from the pictures. The radiators are only about 10 feet in diameter.
No they didn't. It is very odd too. Why wouldn't we deploy nuclear reactors to neighborhoods? It would solve the problem of getting electricity to neighborhoods which isn't currently possible.

Exactly. This was job #1. Now that we have a good small power source we can go to job #2 until we complete our mission.

They should just purchase regional nuclear power plants and bury them to get power.

I believe it will produce thrust. That is all the proof I need. Plus NASA tested it in a NASA facility.

Thats true. On Earth you don't have to worry about things overheating.
We just weren't happy with our old power plant and wanted a change. The new nuclear power plant we have buried in our neighborhood will provide clean energy for the next 50 or so years.
Yes, plus we could fill the hull with asteroid dust mined from asteroids to help with radiation shielding. That, coupled with the dynamo, should be enough to keep the people safe.
Yes. On very hot planets we will need good air conditioning.

You mean the experimental results verified by NASA? After all, the EmDrive was developed and tested at NASA facilities.
Yes. For instance my region just purchased a 100KW nuclear power plant recently. It was very affordable and we now get better electricity. Definitely better than putting solar in, and tons better from getting it from a regular old power plant!

Perhaps you missed the news where SpaceX is going to land cargo on Mars in 2022 and humans will arrive soon after. They will need power.
I'll notify NASA immediately to stop work on this and switch to your design.
And you are perfectly normal.
No they didn't. It is very odd too. Why wouldn't we deploy nuclear reactors to neighborhoods? It would solve the problem of getting electricity to neighborhoods which isn't currently possible.
Definitely. With this and the EmDrive plus the upcoming Musk interplanetary rocket it looks likely that we will be on Mars sooner than we thought.
Not really. The EmDrive promises free energy. It was designed and tested at a NASA facility. So we know it is good.
